2nd Update: Woman rescued from Humboldt Bay after boat capsizes

posted 1:52 PM Humboldt Bay Fire Chief Ken Woods said the woman was not transported to the hospital by emergency medical personnel.

Woods said that when fire officials arrived, the U.S. Coast Guard was already in the process of rescuing the woman from her overturned row boat in Humboldt Bay. He said the boat was visible from Samoa Bridge.

"It was a very small boat," Woods said. "She was probably one-third to one-half miles east of the bridge."

He said the U.S. Coast Guard rescued the woman using one of its boats, taking her to the Woodley Island dock. There fire officials and emergency medical personnel checked to make sure she was OK.

Woods said the woman wasn't wearing a personal flotation device and that the fire department is reminding people to always have a lifejacket available.
